The Blunt and The Beautiful

Big things are happening in astrology this week✨ 21–27 September.
We start with possibility, get a little foggy in the middle, and end with an Aries Full Moon that could make something you’ve been managing, rather than actually addressing, impossible to ignore.
Libra season turns our attention to relationships, fairness and the compromises we’ve made without even realising it.
Midweek, emotions run high and Kate has one very important reminder: understanding why someone behaves the way they do doesn’t mean you have to put up with it.
Then comes the Aries Full Moon, asking a very simple question: What do YOU actually want? Not what you should want. Not what keeps everyone else happy. What do you want?
And as Mars moves into Leo, the week ends with a shift in energy, more confidence, creativity, pleasure and a reminder that joy isn’t something you have to earn.
This week on Astro Talk: relationships, boundaries, intuition, clarity and getting your mojo back.

We said there was news this week. We weren't prepared for quite THIS much news.
Kate and Tansy unpack the HYROX incident heard around the world (yes, that one), Sydney Sweeney’s latest controversial sports betting ad, the Emmys and Shailene Woodley’s somewhat baffling red carpet moment.
Then things get a little more serious as they get into the Macklemore and Ed Sheeran controversy, the problem with claiming to be “apolitical”, and what happens when standing by your values actually comes with a price tag.
Plus: gambling, celebrity accountability, Gilmore Girls, Glenn Powell and more tangents than we care to count.
A very poo-forward week, indeed.

We've decided it's time.Time to age out of things that are exhausting, expensive, completely unnecessary... and occasionally come with a camping toilet.This week we're making a list of everything we've officially retired from. Not because we're getting older, but because we've finally realised some things simply aren't worth the bloody effort.We're saying goodbye to people pleasing, over-explaining ourselves, pretending we like things we absolutely do not, waiting to be chosen, arguing with compliments, clothes that don't fit, trends that were never meant for us, and giving a single flying fuck whether strangers on the internet approve of our lives.There are also some controversial opinions. Camping? Absolutely not. High heels? Good luck to them. Owning forty-seven coffee mugs? Kate would like to plead the fifth.Along the way we chat about grey hair, boundaries, ambition, body image, online trolls, why "no" is a complete sentence, and the glorious freedom that comes from realising you don't actually have to explain yourself to anyone.If you've ever found yourself saying, "You know what? I'm too old for this shit..." (emotionally, not chronologically), congratulations.This episode is for you.Things we're officially aging out of:- Trying to make everyone like us- Explaining our boundaries- Waiting to be chosen- Caring about trends that don't suit us- Feeling guilty for taking up space- Keeping clothes we'll "fit into one day"- Caring what strangers think online- Camping. Seriously... camping.What are you aging out of? Come and tell us - we're always looking for new things to cross off the list.#TheBluntAndTheBeautiful #AgingOut #PeoplePleasing #Boundaries #Confidence #WomenSupportingWomen #PersonalGrowth #SelfWorth #BodyImage #GreyHair #OnlineTrolls #LifeLessons #Friendship #Relationships #MentalHealth #AustralianPodcast #ComedyPodcast #Midlife #SelfAcceptance #PodcastRecommendations

This week’s astrology brings passion, power struggles, productive momentum and a brain that occasionally refuses to cooperate.
From the emotional intensity of the Scorpio Moon and a fiery Venus–Pluto clash, to the optimism of Sagittarius and the get-shit-done energy of Capricorn, Kate takes you through your weekly astrology forecast for 14–20 September, day by day.
Find out when the energy is right to start something important, why 15 September is absolutely not the day for that relationship or money conversation, when to rethink the plan instead of forcing it, and where the astrology is giving you a cosmic green light to actually get moving.
There are days for passion. Days for difficult conversations. Days for making decisions. And days when your brain simply needs you to stop fucking asking so much of it.
Seven days. Seven very different moods. And a guide to working with the astrology instead of fighting against it.

This week Kate and Tansy are tackling the big issues: the monarchy, the Biebers, Pilates etiquette and whether spending too long in a spa will, in Tansy’s words, “boil your bag.”
They kick off with Florence Pugh’s East of Eden, which looks beautiful, devastating and exactly like the kind of television you watch once, sob through, call a masterpiece and then never emotionally recover enough to watch again.
Then Harry and Meghan are back in the UK, Charles has apparently sent out the royal equivalent of a “just so we’re clear” email, and Kate and Tansy attempt to understand what exactly constitutes a “working royal.” Spoiler: shaking hands apparently gives you calluses.
Next, Justin and Hailey Bieber answer a series of seemingly innocent questions for W Magazine and accidentally provide enough material for an entire couples therapy session. Favourite movie? Hailey says The Grinch. Justin says The Break-Up. Favourite artist? Neither picks the other. Favourite way to relax? Finally, agreement: the spa. Which leads to some unsolicited medical commentary from Tansy that nobody asked for.
Then we meet the Pilates Police - because apparently leaving a reformer class seven minutes early is now a matter of public concern. Kate and Tansy discuss why other people’s schedules, emergencies, hamstrings and IBS are, generally speaking, none of your fucking business.
And finally, Kate makes Channel Seven news after sharing her thoughts on increasingly controlling wedding rules, only to discover she’s been branded a “controlling woman” who “slams yucky and weird Aussie weddings.”
Chicken. Chips. Controlling.
Florence Pugh. Royal family bullshit. Bieber red flags. Boiled bags. Pilates policing. Wedding dictators. And another week where the internet probably should have stayed in drafts.
